Salut Olivier,
teTeX benefits from an excellent integration with debian-like distros
i.e. you can update with the last version, install or not some exotic
packages like prosper for LaTeX (.deb package), tetex-frog for french
support. etc. But since TeXlive is based on teTeX, I believe that more
packages are included (some PSTricks extensions pst-*** or prosper). Of
course, you have to take these considerations into account only if you
will use LaTeX.
I'm learning ConTeXt for a week after 3-4 of LaTeX practice and I have
installed texlive2005 after some unexpected experiments with teTeX. Now,
my fonts-related problem is solved so I will maybe retry ConTeXt with
teTeX... In *my* opinion, teTeX is lightest because when you need a
package, apt works well and if there is no deb package, you can easilly
install it manually (a0poster, HAProsper, Thèse Loria...)
I need a complete distrib of TeX with LaTeX support because I need it
for publication purposes and I don't want to port all my doc to ConTeXt
yet... If you need ConTeXt without LaTeX, the better solution is
effectively to follow Hans's advice.
With teTeX and TeXlive, fonts-related problem seem not (*are* not, to
me,) trivial but the mailing list is a good start point...
Another point, if you need a multi-OS distrib of (La)TeX => texlive is
the solution since teTeX is only for linux.
For internals, I don't know well diff between teTeX and TeXlive.
Cordialement,
If you need more advices or precisions (in french) you can contact me
directly
